A noted defensive defenceman, his best season was 1967, when he finished second in the NHL in plus-minus (behind defense partner Pierre Pilote), and was seventh in voting for the James Norris Memorial Trophy as best defenceman in the league.[1] He was also named to play in the 1975 NHL All-Star Game, in his final season with Chicago.[2]
After that season, Jarrett was traded to the New York Rangers for goaltender Gilles Villemure. In an injury-plagued season, chronic back problems caused Jarrett's play to fall off sharply, and in the subsequent season, he was sent down after nine games to the New Haven Nighthawks of the American Hockey League, finishing his career in the minors.
After his playing career, Jarrett periodically worked on behalf of the Chicago Blackhawk Alumni Association. Born in London, Ontario, Jarrett was inducted into the London Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. He died of cancer in 2014 at the age of 69.[3]
